At SWI Group, we are committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users, regardless of their abilities or disabilities. We are consistently working to improve the accessibility of our website and services to ensure that everyone can enjoy an equitable, seamless and inclusive experience.
1. Our Approach
- Standards: Our goal is to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, and strive to meet Level AAA success criteria where feasible. These guidelines, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), provide standards for making web content more accessible for people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological disabilities.
- Ongoing Efforts: We regularly test our website for accessibility issues using a combination of automated tools and manual testing by individuals with disabilities. We make improvements based on these tests to enhance the user experience for all visitors.
- Training: We provide ongoing accessibility training for our entire team (including content creators, developers, and designers) to ensure awareness and sensitivity towards accessibility matters and to ensure they understand their responsibilities in creating and maintaining accessible content.
- User-Centered Design: We try to incorporate accessibility in all stages of our website and content design.
2. Accessibility Features
- Alternative Text: We are committed to ensuring that all non-text content, such as images, audio, and video, have appropriate alternative text descriptions (alt text) that convey the same information or purpose as the visual content.
- Navigability: Our website features clear, consistent, and logical navigation systems to aid in usability. We use semantic HTML to structure our content, making it easier for screen readers and other assistive technologies to navigate. Keyboard navigation is fully supported.
- Adaptability: Our website is designed to be compatible with a variety of browsers and assistive technologies, including screen readers, screen magnifiers, and speech recognition software. We test our website with these technologies to ensure compatibility.
- Readability: We use clear and simple language, avoiding jargon.
- Color Contrast: We are checking and correcting any color contrast issues to make sure the text is easy to read.
- Resizable Text: Text can be resized without loss of content or functionality.
- Captions and Transcripts: We provide captions and transcripts for all video and audio content.
3. Continuous Improvement
Accessibility is an ongoing effort, and we are continuously working to improve the accessibility of our website. We welcome feedback from users to ensure we are providing the best possible experience for everyone. We view accessibility as a core part of our commitment to user experience and inclusivity.
4. Feedback
We value your feedback on the accessibility of our website. If you encounter any accessibility issues or have suggestions for improvements, please contact us:
- Email: info@swi.com
- Phone: +41 22 5524030
We aim to respond to accessibility feedback within 2 business days and to propose a solution within 10 business days. We will work with you to address the issue and provide the information you need in an accessible format.
5. Third-Party Content
While we strive to ensure the accessibility of our entire website, parts of our website may contain third-party content or tools beyond our direct control. We encourage such providers to offer accessible content, but we are unable to guarantee its accessibility. We are actively working with our third-party vendors to encourage them to improve the accessibility of their content and tools.
6. Commitment to Compliance
Our commitment to making our website accessible to all users is driven by our mission to consistently enhance our services and ensure inclusivity and fairness for everyone interacting with our digital platforms. We are dedicated to complying with applicable accessibility laws and regulations. We are continually working to improve and will review this policy every year.
